Kim.Sasso | Aug 27, 2023 |    ) Thomas.Cannon | Dec 7, 2021 | lulaa | Sep 2, 2019 | The story fell just a little bit short of what I'd hoped for in terms of the final resolution of the central mystery....and I saw where it was headed far too many pages ahead of it actually getting there. Still, it was mostly well written and original enough that I'd like to see what else Amanda Ward has written. (  ) Kim_Sasso | Mar 14, 2018 | The novel is told in a series of flashbacks; which at first are pawned off as the daughter dreaming of the mother's young life - but then it just morphs into a second storyline told by a third person narrator, interspersed with a series of letters from a young woman writing to a strange man from a dating service. It all sounds mysterious, but actually, it was fairly easy to piece together and it seemed formulaic and predictable. It was a quickly read airplane/beach read but not much beyond that. Old 'cold case' stories usually grab me, but this was just not particularly convincingly written. But entertaining and enjoyable in a light way despite the subject matter.

In this, Ward’s second novel, our heroine is a booze-soaked thirty-two-year-old cocktail waitress who works at the rotating bar at the top of the New Orleans World Trade Center and eats “hot dogs by choice.”
Fiction.
Mystery.
Suspense.
HTML: From the author of the celebrated Sleep Toward Heaven comes a novel of love and secrets. To their neighbors in suburban Holt, New York, the Winters family has it all: a grand home, a trio of radiant daughters, and a sense that they are safe in their affluent corner of America. But when five-year-old Ellie disappears, the fault lines within the Winters family are exposed. Joseph, once a successful businessman, succumbs to his demons. Isabelle retreats into memories of her debutante days in Savannah, Georgia. And Ellie's bereft sisters grow apart: Madeline reluctantly stays home, while Caroline runs away. Fifteen years later, Caroline, now a New Orleans cocktail waitress, sees a photograph of a woman in People Magazine. Convinced that it is Ellie all grown up, Caroline embarks on a search for her missing sister, armed with Xerox copies of the photograph, an amateur detective guide, and a cooler of Dixie beer. As Caroline travels through the New Mexico desert, the mountains of Colorado, and the smoky underworld of Montana, she devotes herself to salvaging her broken family. With dark humor and gorgeous prose, Amanda Eyre Ward brings us a spellbinding novel about the stories we are given, and the stories we embrace. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
